Game: 1/3
BB: 400ish, middle aged gamboool type. When he's shown aggression PF he's been aggressive post flop with big bet sizing. Example, folds to him he opens for $20, HU or 3-way c-bets $40-60 flop
EP: Covers hero and BB, likely a winner in this game. Seems taggy for now, but of the hands I've seen him turnover he's had the goods. Seen him play up to 2/5 in multiple places so it's possible he grinds for a living.
Hero: 280ish, LP. Newish to the table but have played with both villains before. I don't believe BB has much of a read on me since he and I have not gotten into a pot that went to SD. EP possibly consider hero 'ok' player, likely a bit on the tighter side.
Hand: EP opens $15 after 1 limp, hero flats 9
8
from HJ. I expect this hand to go MW and expect very little 3-bets behind me. I think EP is on the stronger part of his range since his PF raise sizes varies between $8-15; I think $8 is a pot sweetener whereas $15 is likely TT+, AJs+, KQs so I think I have decent IO odds if I get a decent flop
folds to BB, he calls. 3-way to the flop
~Flop ($45): 9

BB checks, EP c-bets $25, hero calls, BB calls.
~Turn($120): Q
BB checks, EP $65, hero is getting about 3:1 but need about 4:1, but I'm sure I can get the additional money if I bink the river with the range EP is representing. BB has been passive this hand so I'm not too worried about him coming over the top.
Call, fold or shove are all options here. Which do you go with?
